I knew exactly what would come after a bloodcurdling scream from Bianca's room. Kayla was the first one there and Percy and Annabeth weren't far behind. The poison. It was recurring.
You see, there is no real known cure for the deadly mixture of poisons in the obstacle course. Apollo could give Bianca treatment for the wound, but no cure.
"SOMEONE! QUICK SUMMON APOLLO! DO WHATEVER YOU HAVE TO DO TO GET APOLLO HERE RIGHT NOW!" Annabeth yelled.
Jason went off to summon him.
Percy was in a panic, telling his daughter that it would be okay, while she was practically having a seizure on the floor. It's cute when Percy shows his soft side for his family. No homo though, for real. He was just a childhood hero that I looked up to all my life until Bianca's death. It made me feel wanted when he named his first born daughter after my sister..
Suddenly there was a bright flash, and Apollo- without his cheery attitude- was standing in the middle of Bianca's room.
"Let me see the girl!" he said urgently. Percy obliged an put her in his arms princess style. Apollo felt her pulse, scrutinized the situation, and produced a large vial of golden liquid.
He said the thing that only I knew up until now.
"There is no actual cure for this. You will have to give her a bit if this medicine every time she has an episode. Summon me if you need more." Apollo said grimly, as he poured a few drops of the potion into Bianca's mouth. She quit jerking after she swallowed, and seemingly fell asleep in Apollos arms, who seemed slightly out of his comfort zone now.
Apollo wasn't used to playing the father figure, so I guess he never actually learned how to put a child to bed. He awkwardly handed Bianca back to Percy, who tucked her into bed.
The rest of us wandered back into the living room solemnly, the familiar drone of chatter ceased. We all just sat in silence for a while, contemplating the news.
I genuinely felt bad for the Jacksons. Their parents had literally gone through hell and back and been the subject of too many prophecies. Now their kids were going through the same things.
On the bright side, though, all the men got to have a day all to ourselves. No holding our wives' shopping bags, no more answering: "Does this look ok?", no more aching feet... It was going to be pretty nice.
